Murder at the black cat cafe

In post-war Tokyo, still recovering from the devastating wartime bombing raids, a patrolling policeman passing The Black Cat Caf makes a gruesome discovery: the body of a woman, lying in a hastily dug hole, with a dead black cat by her side. The woman´s face is disfigured beyond recognition, and the caf´s black cat seems alive and well, so where did the two corpses come from, and why were they buried in the caf´s garden? As the legendary scruffy sleuth Kosuke Kindaichi investigates, he realizes the caf´s enigmatic madam, Oshima, has a past shrouded in secrecy, and what exactly is her relationship with the owner, Itoshima? To solve the mystery, Kindaichi will have to untangle a complex web of love, jealousy, and betrayal... As he races to get to the truth, he discovers that nothing at The Black Cat Caf is as it seems.
